REPORT: Jags working to bring in CB D.J. Hayden

With most of the marquee names off of the open market, the Jacksonville Jaguars appear to still be hard at work. According to Ryan O’Halloran of the Florida Times-Union, the team began working on a deal with former Detroit Lions cornerback D.J. Hayden Tuesday afternoon.

Hayden, 27, is a former first-round draft pick of the Oakland Raiders as he was selected with the No. 12 overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft. He spent four seasons with them before signing a one-year deal with Detroit in March of last season. Throughout his five-year career, Hayden has managed to play in 61 games, while starting in 26. He’ll enter 2018 with a career total of 223 tackles, 35 pass breakups and three interceptions.

With the Jags set to lose starting nickelback Aaron Colvin to the Houston Texans, they could use a veteran addition at the cornerback position. That said, if the Jags end up signing Hayden, we’ll be sure to have the details of his contract when they are released.
